Hello All,
I am new to apache-pivot although I do work with Spring MVC & Hibernate.
Before I pose this question I did go through the archive, from Jan. 2011 to
current and I did not see an answer, and I did try Stackoverflow as well.
What I would like to do is move the .bxml files to a separate directory -
for example: /xml in the project.
eclipse is the IDE (Keppler) and the plugin is installed.
To make this shorter I'll use the excellent example of HelloBXML and just
the relevant snippet of code;
@Override public void startup(Display display, Map<String, String> arg1)
throws Exception {
BXMLSerializer bmxlSerializer = new BXMLSerializer();
window = (Window) bmxlSerializer.readObject(HelloBXML.class,
"xml/hello.bxml");
window.open(display);
}
I can get hello.bxml to load if I include it in the classpath as
com.dwh.pivot.tutorial.xml or by itself as hello.bxml in
com.dwh.pivot.tutorial where HelloBXML.java resides.
When I tried creating the xml directory and calling hello.bxml from it I
got the error: " I get an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: could not
find resource "/xml/hello.bxml". "
I also tried using window = (Window)
bmxlSerializer.readObject(getClass().getResource("xml/hello.bxml"));
and I get a different error, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: location
is null."
After a little thought, I tried creating a separate package named xml and
added hello.bxml to it. I received the same location is null error.
What I would like to know is if it is possible to separate the files like
that using pivot? My reasoning is I am trying to isolate the gui portions
from the data or model. Maybe I am way out in left field and over thinking
it.
Thank you for taking time to look at this, if I am off base let me know :)
I won't take offense. If I missed something somewhere point me at it and
smack my hand.
Peace,
-Dave
